Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Olympus E-M5 III and Fujifilm T500 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus E-M5 III has external dimensions of 125 x 85 x 50 mm (4.92 x 3.35 x 1.97″) and weighs 414 g (0.91 lb / 14.60 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm T500 has external dimensions of and weighs 136 g (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus E-M5 III and the Fujifilm T500. Fujifilm T500 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 26mm narrower, 28mm shorter and 24mm thinner than Olympus E-M5 III. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm T500 has a built-in lens but Olympus E-M5 III doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-M5 Mark III, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus E-M5 III and Fujifilm T500.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus E-M5 III and Fujifilm T500.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm T500 is significantly lighter (278g ) than the Olympus E-M5 III which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on E-M5 Mark III, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the E-M5 Mark III has a big advantage over the T500 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus E-M5 III's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm T500's 2.7 screen.
Moreover, Olympus E-M5 III sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Fujifilm T500 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to E-M5 Mark III.
